How to add chicks to other chicks

[slad30]

We bought 4 chicks when they were a day old. Then a week later we bought 2 more chicks that were about a week old. So they are about the same age. I kept the 2 new chicks in quarantine for 2 weeks and now I want to add them to the first 4 chicks. What is the best way?

At this age, they’ll probably be just fine because there’s not a huge Size difference. Put them together and watch them for awhile. They should be fine because they’re not old enough to be territorial or to have established a pecking order yet. But do it ASAP to avoid such problems later.
When they’re older you’d have to put them together in a big area and watch them for a few hours. It shouldn’t be a big deal now.
